Richard is the CEO of Clever Endeavour Games. He takes care of business aspects of the company, and also helps out with design, HR, marketing, art, and audio. Outside of games, he loves music composition, tea, cycling, hockey, game soundtracks, and anything with chocolate.
He started his studies in music, switched to mechanical engineering, and ended up following this path of game development after working briefly as an engineer. His experience working as an advisor with the games investment fund Kowloon Nights and his multiple stints as a judge for the Indie Megabooth and IGF have allowed him to see a wide variety of games and pitches over the past 5 years. He sits on the board of a games coworking space called GamePlay Space in Montreal, and mentors in organizations which help developers from groups that are underrepresented in the industry to break in and succeed.
